- Abstract: We suggest a new protocol for the information reconciliation stage of quantum
key distribution based on polar codes. The suggested approach is based on the
blind technique, which is proved to be useful for low-density parity-check
(LDPC) codes. We show that the suggested protocol outperforms the blind
reconciliation with LDPC codes, especially when there are high fluctuations in
quantum bit error rate (QBER).

Errors that are generally considered to be due to the adversary's tempering with the quantum channel need to be corrected using classical communication over a public channel.
We show that the reliability sequence can be derived and used to design an encoder independent of the choice of decoder.

We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security.
In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.

Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows the establishment of common cryptographic keys among distant parties.
Recently, a QKD protocol that circumvents the need for monitoring signal disturbance, has been proposed and demonstrated in initial experiments.
We derive the security proofs of the round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol in the collective attack scenario.
Our results show that the RRDPTS protocol can achieve higher secret key rate in comparison with the RRDPS, in the condition of high quantum bit error rate.
